Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The board had answers; the Bears had Nowakowski. Grade: F.

The Bears bet big and early on Riley Nowakowski, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The Kilgore pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Christen Miller
No edge and no loss on Christen Miller in the 33rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
They took Keionte Scott at par in pick No. 57, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They reached a country mile for Dani Dennis-Sutton at pick 60, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenen Thompson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenen Thompson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Kilgore at No. 129 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Good price on Jalon Daniels in No. 239, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
They talked themselves into Riley Nowakowski at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
